My comment:
(a) The first part of the VOA report theoretically comes from
Rosneft Gets $15 Billion Advance Payment for Oil Supplies. Bloomberg, Nov 13, 2015 http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/rosn ... l-supplies/41776564
("Rosneft's "quarterly reports to Russian accounting standards published on its website on Friday [(Nov 13) said the company had received ~15b advance payment on oil supplies ] * * * Rosneft’s press service declined to disclose the exact amount of the advance or who paid it
* Oddly, this news report does not appear in Bloomberg's own website. In other words, this piece of news is only found in the swissinfo.ch.
(b) "中国已不止一次慷慨解囊，为俄罗斯雪中送炭。 * * * 帮普京打垮对手[which is the sectional heading] 中国已不是第一次在关键时刻助普京一臂之力。"
The truth is The oil contract between China and Russia has not been disclosed. We simply do not know whether China is doing its part according to the contract.
